The Foster Carers will take notice of the following information to minimise the risk from terrorism by taking the following steps:

Advice and guidance contained below taken from: https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/

Follow media reporting about the country and region.

Be vigilant in public areas and places that attract foreigners and westerners – e.g. hotels, restaurants, bars and crowded places like markets, malls or sports events. Always be aware of your surroundings.

Be vigilant around significant religious occasions (including the holy month of Ramadan) and public holidays; terrorist groups sometimes call for attacks around these times.

Look out for anything suspicious and if you see anything report it to the local police immediately – many terrorist attacks are foiled by the vigilance of the public. Where appropriate, you should also report concerns to your employer or your travel company.

Think about the routes you use and have a plan of action to follow in the event of an incident.

Try to avoid routines that could make you an easier target – vary the time and route of your regular journeys.

Keep your mobile phone charged and with you, with emergency numbers programmed in.

Consider the extent to which you might stand out from the crowd, particularly when travelling off the beaten track or to out-of-town destinations.

Be discreet on social media about yourself and your travel and social plans.

Tell family, colleagues, neighbors or trusted hotel staff about where you’re going and when you plan to return.

Identify places where you could seek refuge in an emergency.

In airports, minimise the time spent in the public area, which is generally less well protected. Move quickly from the check-in counter to the secured areas. Upon arrival, leave the airport as soon as possible.
